ABSTRACT

Standard of life of the most countries is directly proportional to their energy consumption (Guliyants 2010). This is substantiated by the fact that at modern consumption rates of standard energy carriers such as oil, coal and gas, according to the leading scientists, their amount will be enough for 150-300 years of world use. Thus, prospects of such minerals development lose their relevance with every year. In connection with that, all developed countries understanding hopelessness of the situation, begin to pay a lot of attention to development of alternative sources of energy. At present, the main and most perspective of such sources is gas hydrates. Scientific and practical interest for gas hydrates development i.e. extraction of natural gas from them has significantly increased during the last decade.
